my dad's story

There are two stories which he told us or his friends many times. One of them i have written in Chinese in this blog. They were all happened in China at his young age. We always describe metaphorical the life like seasoning then this case must be the sour one. Every time while he told us he was waving his hands and acting himself of that time, we felt sorrow and pity. It means he is missing his mom and the time in China. I hope i could write the detail with my poor English as possible as i can.



My dad seldom talk about his father who he had passed away early when he was a kid. So when he was a teen age boy my grandma wanted him to go to the downtown of Beijing where his uncle run a small restaurant to seek help or a job. But my grandma even hadn't have the money for the cost to Beijing. His mom just give him a bag of flour in case dad could buy food instead of money. The worse was on the way he met a Japan's soldier who insisted that the flour in the bag was a poison stuff. Of course we heard a lot of what the Japan's soldier had done in China. It was a wrong time evolved the evil ambition which harmed deeply the innocent people.

Anyway dad was full of fear and panic, he grabbed a handful flour into his mouth and said: poison??? It is just a bag of flour! Then the soldier swung his hand and said: move!! Dad even imitate the tone of that soldier.

It's hard to image the second result at that time.

At May of this year, my mom need a company to take one day trip of Fencihu (奮起湖) which in the Alishan National Scenic Area阿里山國家風景區. In fact i was a little disappointed the view from bus window looked on the mountain. I didn't see many large areas of the tea plantation( the view of my mom's back ) instead of Areca catechu 檳榔樹 has been grown in the most area of the mountain. There are higher economic benefits than the tea plantation but its environmental reservation is worse. It's not easy to get a balance between the wealth and moral.

Two years later my family will move out. I hope i could take the old and big tree in our yard with us. It is almost my age. We need a place to keep my dog and my favorite tree. Am i greedy?
